Dawes commisssion are deliv-
ered. It was-learned today that the
pretext that the chiefs are ad-
vancing for their action is that
tho M. K. &T. tailroad holds a
grant of every alternate sootion
';of land on eacn side of the right
of way through the Chootaw na-
tion to be deeded to the road as
soon as the title passes to the
government. The Indians hold
that if they recognize the author-
ity or necessity of the seoretary
of the interior approving their
'deeds tho railroad will then claim
that the title is vested in the gov-
ernment and demand that the
land bo delivered to it.
I The action of the Chootaw ex-
ecutive is regarded as of great
jimpoitance owing to the faot
that it will probably bo the result
of clouding the title to every traot
Lof lancf deeded by him to an
allottee; During the present
week art' ofttoial report will be
imade on the situation by tue
DaWes commission and a dofinito
polidy decided upon by the de-
partment of the interior. The
complications of this problem and

TO HOLD UP DELIVERY.
Dawes Commission Is Instructed to
Wait on Allotments.
Muskogee I. T. April 25. t
The seoretary of the interior
wired the Dawes commission to
hold up the enrollment and allot-
ment of certain Chootaw and
Chiokasaw applioants for allot-
ment that tho department had
ordered allotted last Monday.
These aro the cases of the appli-
cants who were rejeotod by the
citizenship court and the Dawes
commission and tho department
of the interior reversed them and
ordered the enrollment made.
The department is evidently
baoking up on its recommenda-
tion and the telegram states that
the cases will bo further looked
into. These applicants are the
ones that threatened to create a
complete overturning of the work
of the citizenship court. The de-
partment has doubtless been ad-
vised of tho extent of its sweep-
ing order and is looking for more
substantial grounds before action
is taken.

bleed at the nose. We tried every-
thing we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our fam-

INDIANS TO
TEST RIGHTS
Decision in Kansas Liquor Caso
Grounds For Frosh Litiga-
tion in Territory.
THE FEDERAL LAW IS SUPREME
Attorneys Propose -sto' Try By
Habeas Corpus Rightof Sell-
ing Liquor to Indian
Citizen .
MuBkogee I. T. April 26.
Since the supreme court decision
that an Indian allottee who had
been made a'oitizen was subjoot
to state and territory police regu-
lations instead of federal there
havo been many surmised as to
the effeot that deoision will have
in Indian Territory on Indian al-
lottees. It will have none. There
is no state or territorial govern-
ment here to supersede the fed-
eral polico regulations and the
sam6 old law .applies. Notwith-
standing this however there are
some lawyers who want to make
a test of the matter and get a re-
cord on it. They propose to take
up a case or a number of them
simuar to me Kansas case wnere
Indians have been sold liquor and
... ... -
the porson who sold it lo them is
in jail. An attempt will be made
to get these patties out on a writ
of habeas corpus. In Oklahoma
tho same thing is happening.
There are lots of persons in pris-
on from that territory who Were
convicted of selling liquor to In-
dians. One attorney isbunohing
a numbecof these oases and days
he will begin proceedings next
week to get them out of prison.
AN ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.
Muskogee Man Hatches-Three Chick-
ens In Twenty Hours.
Muskogee I. T. April 26. A
Muskogee man has demonstrated
that eleotrioity is a good inouba -
tor. H. M. Vanoe is a ohioken
fancier and takes pride in blood
ed chickens. He was expeoting

eggs that promised well until two
days before time for hatohing.
Then the hen got restless and af
ter breaking all the eggs but
throe refused to sit on them lon-
ger. Mr. Vance took the three
remaining eggs before they got
cold and mado a r.est in the
house and plaoed an eleotrio light
bulk in the nest and turned on
tho ourrent. In twenty houra he
had hatohed all three eggs and
has three as fine ohiokens as any
old hen ever cluoked to. Tho
warmth from the eleotrio light
proved just tho right thing.
Vanoe considers he has made a
discovery.

NEGROES RUN OUT.
Race War at Bartlcsyille Cause
Coons to Get Up M Travel.
MuBkogoe I. T. April 26.
The raoe feeling which has be-
come apparant in do many towns
in Indian Territory lias cropped
out at Bartlesville. A sewer
contractor imported about forty
negroos todo day labor. The
white men of the town gt togeth-
er and ran tho negroes 6iit oF
town. Flushed with success
they thon started to clear th
town of resident negroes a thing
many times threatened. They
wont to a hotel where negro por-
ters were employed and to a drug
store whore colored help was in
servioe. At these places they
were met by tho proprietors and
officers with guns. This stopped
the matter.
Chronic Bronchitis Cured
"For the last ten years I had
chronic bronchitis so bad that at
times I could not spoak above a
whisper" writes Mrs. Joseph Coff-
man of Montmorenci Ind. "I
tried all remedies available but
with no success. Fortunately my
employer suggested that I try Fo-
ley's Honey and Tar. Its effect
was almost miraculous and I am
now cured of the disease. On my
recommendation many people have
used Foley's Honey and Tar and
always with satisfaction." Sold

WILL GET DEEDS IN MAY.
Allottees in Chickasaw Nation to Re-
ceive Proofs of Ownership
on the 10th. '
Tishomingo I. T. April 25.
Gov. J. H. Johnson informs a
correspondent of the Dallas News
that about May 10 he would be-
gin tho delivery of deeds to allot-
tees for their lands. Owing to a
disagreement between the tribal
authorities and the seoretary of
the interior these deeds have
been held up for several months
and the news that they are to be
delivered will be read with satis-
faction by a large number of In-
dian citizens.
The law provides that one year
after date of patent the allottees
may sell'ono-fourth of their sur-
plus land another fourth in three
years and the remainder in five
years.
Rheumatic Pains Quickly Relieved
The excruciating pains charac-
teristic of rheumatism and sciatica
are quickly relieved by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The
great pnin relioving power of the
liniment has been the surprise and
delight of thousands of sufferers.
The quick relief from pain which it
affords is alone worth many times'
its cost. Sold by O. L. Shannon.
